Xyron Creativation Cactus

Hey Everyone! I wanted to take the next few posts to share some of the fun projects I made while attending this year's Creativation Show. Creativation is a trade show for the craft and hoddy industry and is a LOT of fun to attend.

Today's cute craft is this adorable little 3D cactus that was from Xyron. I LOVE their sticker makers and use them frequently in my craft projects. For this one we cut the cactus and pot out of cardstock. The cactus slid together from the top and bottom and there are 4 pieces making up the pot. We simply folded each pot in half, then unfolded it and ran it through the Xyron sticker maker.

Then we just adhere each folded pot to the base of the cactus all the way around. By the way, Beth Kingston (crafter extraordinaire and HSN craft goddess) was teaching this little make and take so I was trying not to go all Fan Girl on her, LOL! Next we used a stapler to add some spines to our cactus arms and finished it off with this adorable paper flower!

This little gem now has a treasured spot on my desk, it was so much fun to create! Check back soon for more Creativation fun!
